Duke Horn is one of the most noble nobles in the Lehman Kingdom, and is the lord of the three coastal counties in the southern part of the Lehman Kingdom.

His descendants grew up to be adults, and a coming-of-age ceremony was specially invited by Queen Angela, and this coming-of-age ceremony was held in the royal capital of Mosalen.

Of course, this matter is not just a coming-of-age ceremony, it is also an excellent opportunity for the nobles of the Lehman Kingdom to communicate, so the ball on the first day was extremely lively, some famous figures in the royal capital basically came, and all kinds of carriages parked the streets outside the Duke's Palace.

As night fell, a large bonfire was lit in the center of the main garden square in the house, and the light of the fire shook to dispel the chill of late autumn.

There are the shining stars and bright moon, the cool breeze of the autumn night, the fragrance of autumn chrysanthemums, in the corner, the acrobats of the circus are working hard to perform, in the shade of the big trees full of magic lamps, the noble ladies and celebrities with flowers and branches whispering and reserved conversations, and the waiters who walk around with all kinds of drinks and delicacies to serve people.

Of course, most of the guests in the square were some second-rate people who were not very important, and many of them were shaved heads and squeezed in with elegant philistines or careerists looking for opportunities to advance, and the real guests were welcomed into the hall of the Duke's Palace, and the nobles of the distinguished guests, the core members of the Lehman Kingdom, were in the inner hall of the second floor of the Duke's Palace.

It's home to some of the biggest names who fought against the Dark Army, including Horn, Vianna, Bion, Jasmine and even Queen Angela.

Several people are comrades-in-arms and friends, so naturally they will not hold any false stands. Just in a circle, talking relatively casually.

Looking at the carnival crowd in the square through the characteristic crystal glass, especially the young people, Horn, whose temples have turned gray, couldn't help but sigh: "Time is so fast, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the whole world has changed." ”

More than 10 years ago. The whole world is ravaged by the army of darkness, and people are struggling in despair. More than ten years later, a whole new world has grown out of the ruined ruins, singing and dancing, prosperous and colorful, and many new things have appeared that I could not think of before.

Horn, who has gone through all these changes and personally led the whole change, can't help but sigh.

"Yes, ten years ago, I didn't expect that there would be frequent ocean-going ships between the two continents. I didn't expect airships to fly everywhere in the sky. The development of alchemy is changing with each passing day, and many new methods of alchemy almost leave me dumbfounded. My old man can't keep up with the times. "Joseph. Martin laughed.

Angela sighed: "It's a pity that the mentor is not there. ”

Jasmine is also silent, in order to adapt to the battle armor, she used alchemy to change her body, and she will always be the appearance of a little girl, although she is now in her twenties, she is still a child, and the melancholy appearance on her face at this time really makes people want to pinch her little face.

Of course. Everyone present would not make such jokes with Jasmine, which was a knot in Jasmine's heart. Touching her will be angry on the spot, this 'little girl' is now also an otherworldly martial saint, don't look small, but her achievements are higher than Angela, if she wears the Grim Reaper armor, it is estimated that no one on the mainland is her opponent.

"Uncle is so ruthless." Jasmine's voice is still delicate.

She said so. Everyone fell silent, and glanced at Vianna, who was sitting in the corner silently, intentionally or unintentionally.

The world was saved, but the true Savior, the one who led the people like a torch through the dark years, was gone.

Now, they are all enjoying the glory and wealth of saving the world. Only that man was lost on the eve of victory, and instead of enjoying the slightest glory, he had to endure the doubts of the fall into darkness, (referring to the aftermath of Rollin's transformation into the dark dragon in the end) and everyone was not happy.

Vianna felt the other people's gaze and smiled back, "You guys were all wrong, but he actually got the most out of it." In his final moments, he has embarked on the path of immortality, and this is the greatest reward the world has for him, isn't it? ”

The realm of demigods, truly otherworldly, has since become an eternal legend, and everyone cannot understand this existence, but in front of this existence, they all instinctively feel awe and their own insignificance, and they sigh more and more for a while.

They are still feeling worthless for Rollin, maybe in the eyes of the other party, they have become a torch that will be extinguished at any time, it is really hard to say who should sympathize with whom.

At this moment, a petite black shadow walked in generously at the door of the Duke's Palace, it was Lianna.

She knew the location of the Duke's Palace, but she didn't know where Vianna was, so instead of sneaking in, she entered the plaza through the gate.

There are so many people here, no one cares about her as a little girl, she can easily find Vianna's existence.

However, although it was very casual on the surface, there was a sense of urgency in Lianna's heart, just now, she saw the round of golden red moon that appeared in the sky, and she felt the power of her old rival God of War.

The other party was aware of her existence and must have deduced her plan, his power had descended, and he would rush over at any time, so her time was running out.

Walking through the guests, Lena had a sweet smile on her beautiful and clean face, and she was wearing a decent and generous dress, which made people think that this was a child from a family with status and fame, so no one stopped her.

In the square, Lena soon discovers where Vianna is.

She had entered Vianna's Mage Tower and knew her very well about her. And the aura of the other party is very obvious, she is a legendary powerhouse, and at the same time, she is also a powerful jade dragon. In Lianna's divine eyes, the life light flames around her body were burning like a bonfire in the square, and the light was hundreds of times brighter than that of ordinary people, and she could see at a glance that the other party was in the hall on the second floor of the Duke's Palace.

But there are always accidents, when Lena was still more than thirty meters away from the gate of the Duke's Palace, a deliberately low voice suddenly sounded beside her: "You dead chick, where did you run all day?!" ”

Lianna's attention had been in the Duke's Palace, but she hadn't really noticed what was going on behind her, and as soon as the voice came, she felt her hand being caught. Looking back, it was the female orc Lin Tu who she had been with for half a year.

Time was so tight that a second's delay could lead to final defeat, and Lena didn't have the heart to entangle with the orc, her heart was boiling with anger, but her face was still smiling. The voice said sweetly: "I'll just walk around, isn't that okay?" ”

Lin Tu looked at the increasingly beautiful and delicate little face in front of him, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but he felt that the anger in his heart couldn't burn, and finally he could only say: "Go, go back with me." This is the Duke's Palace, we are civilians, and we are here to trespass, and we are careful to bump into the nobles. Big trouble! ”

"Okay~ I'll just go back with you." Lianna's voice was sweet and soft, and it was like a small hand gently massaging the ear, which was very comfortable, and the guests around her felt like this.

But this voice sounded to Lin Tu's ears was completely different, and at the moment this voice sounded, the world in Lin Tu's eyes changed.

Suddenly, the originally bustling square was gone, and a huge black vortex appeared in her eyes. The vortex filled her world and occupied all her senses. There were miserable cries in the whirlpool, and many terrifying visions flashed through them.

In the vision, she saw orcs tied to trees burning like candles, orcs crawling with maggots crawling but still alive, orcs with limbs cut off and wailing in a cunghole pit, and orcs who were thrown into a pot of oil and struggling to survive and wail. Everything, everything. It's all tragic to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, the faces of these orcs became her, and she became the one who experienced endless pain, in a trance, no, it was true. She really became those people.

"No, no, no!!" The orc wanted to yell in fear, but she found that her throat was completely unresponsive, so she could only shout in her head.

In just an instant, the female orc received a huge shock, her eyes widened suddenly, her pupils first contracted violently, and then collapsed, and she was actually scared to death.

This is the nightmare impact of the goddess of the night, and it is she herself who has taken action, and the soul of the female orc has been scattered to the ground in one fell swoop, and it has collapsed into the most basic force.

The orc's soul was scattered, but her body was still temporarily physiological, and the goddess of the night easily took control of the soulless body.

"Miss Lintu, I'll just play outside for a while, you go back first, okay?" Lianna's voice was so pleasant that the people around her wanted to hear it, and no one knew that a tragic incident had just happened here.

Lin Tu nodded mechanically, let go of Lianna's hand, turned around and left, her face was expressionless, her pupils were divergent, her steps were slightly stiff, she was already a living dead, but the light in the square was uncertain, although some people in the square felt some abnormalities, but they didn't pay much attention, so they didn't cause any unexpected movements.

However, just because there was no reaction in the square doesn't mean that no one noticed the anomaly.

This strange scene in the square happened to be watched by Horn, who was sitting by the crystal window on the second floor, of course he couldn't see through the means of the goddess of the night, and what attracted his attention was the strange walking posture of the orc Lin Tu.

In fact, Horn was just casually watching at first, but his observation was astonishingly acute, and he had an intuition that bordered on a hunch. Anything, if there is any contradiction or disobedience, he can always feel it first.

Rollin is the only one on the continent who can overwhelm him in this regard. It was because of this talent that he was able to become the second commander of the Silver Crusade.

After looking at it for a few seconds, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed to a deliberate observation.

At this moment, he noticed more strangeness, the orc's walking posture gave him a strange sense of familiarity, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but where?

Horn frowned and thought hard, unable to remember for a moment.

Vianna noticed his abnormality, and she asked puzzled, "Is there a problem?" ”

As she spoke, her gaze followed Horn's line of sight, and she saw the orcs walking stiffly in the crowd.

Vianna was an archmage of natural magic, and she knew more about life than ordinary people, and after just one glance, she said, "It's strange, the vitality of that orc's body is draining rapidly, as if the body has no master." ”

"Undead!" A light flashed in Horn's mind, yes, the undead, this orc gave him this feeling, that stiffness and numbness, that feeling of life withering and withering, exactly the same as the undead.

He had dealt with the undead, so he naturally recognized it.

"What undead?" Queen Angela hurriedly asked, her hand was already on the hilt of the sword, as a warrior who had participated in the battle of light and darkness, she was extremely sensitive to the undead, and equally sensitive was Jasmine, who had been fighting on the front line for several years, and was familiar with the undead to the bone.

Alchemist Bion also walked to the window and looked at the female orc, he knew far more about the undead than the others present, he dissected an unknown number of undead in order to refine the necromancer, and at a glance, he was sure: "That's not the undead!" She was dead, a dead person whose body was still alive, in which case her soul was supposed to have been destroyed. Hiss~ There is such an evil spell! ”

At this time, Horn had already turned his gaze back and searched the crowd, he was looking for the little girl, the female orc only changed after coming into contact with the little girl, and there must be something wrong with the little girl.

But his gaze quickly circled the square, but there was no sign of the little girl, who was gone.

Horn's heart was full of alarms, and his hand also held the hilt of the sword: "I'm afraid that a very evil guy has infiltrated it, everyone be careful!" ”

With Luo Lin's help, he had also been promoted to sainthood, and besides, there were three legendary powerhouses here, so he was not worried.

The individuals in the hall were alerted, Angela and Joseph. Martin drew his sword, and Vianna opened the protective barrier.

Angela's mind spun quickly, and she immediately reminded, "Horn, your son." Vianna, your daughter. ”

Their strength is strong, they are legendary powerhouses, but the younger generation does not have much strength to protect themselves, and I am afraid that they will be the target of their opponents.

Horn's heart was shocked, and he immediately said, "I'll arrange it." ”

Vianna was also in a hurry, and was ready to find her daughter.

Horn ran towards the door of the hall, but only a few steps after he stopped because he saw the missing little girl at the staircase of the small hall.

The little girl looked to be eleven or twelve years old, her facial features were delicate and sweet, her eyes were as clear as a clear spring, and the skin of her exposed hands was as white and tender as mutton fat, and the whole person was clean and clean, with a sweet smile on her face.

She gently held the perilla wood guardrail with one hand, and shook her index finger gently in front of her with the other hand, and a soft voice sounded: "Uncle, it's a little late~" (to be continued......)
